About Us

Independent games from a solo developer

Piledrivegames is a solo indie game studio based in Ottawa, Canada. I build video games and tabletop games around meaningful choices, approachable controls and the fun of trying a different strategy.

Who We Are

Passion

We are passionate about simple, fun and intuitive mechanics that are easy to share with friends and family.

Whether that be video, card or board games we strive to provide the experience to as many people as possible!

Ottawa Ontario Canada

We are located in Ottawa - the Capital city of Canada

Personal Life

I work professionally as a software developer during the day. When I am not working on my indie video games, during my free time I organize and participate in downhill longboarding events!

What We Believe In

NO Gimmicks

Our games are about strategy and playing with friends, not about shiny packages and holographic collectibles. Ads should remain a completely optional experience, and be completely non-intrusive to your gaming experience!

NO Power Creep

TCG games are too often destroyed by constantly printing more powerful cards

Value

Upfront card lists allow you to get the best bang for your buck! No more guessing whats behind the package

Fun

Ultimately games should be fun whether you win or lose! We strive to develop an experience in all of our products that are fun & challenging for everyone.

Single & Multiplayer

Board and card games should come with single and multiplayer options!

Strategy

Games should have enough depth for avid strategists to get lost

Games should have diverse and healthy metagames

Balance

Games should have many viable strategies towards victory

NO Booster Packs

Cards games should come with upfront card lists - NO more gambling and guessing what's behind the package. With upfront pricing, everyone can have a better experience.

Easy

Games should have intuitive instructions without large manuals. Video games should be easy to hop in and out of, without hampering the experience when you take a break and need to remember a hundred different controls and button combinations
